mocaleo says: "Amazing how these so-called .. "tolerant" .. liberals want to practice "age discrimination". TYPICAL liberal hypocrisy"

mocaleo fails to understand that it''s not age discrimination at all. We don''t like McCain because he''s an IN.SANE WAR-MONGERING FOOL with an UNCONTROLLABLE TEMPER and we don''t want his finger on "the button"! Out of kindness we allow that perhaps senility made him lose his mind, rather than that he simply has been in.sane all along.

How could ANYONE like a "war hero" who was captured in battle, given blatantly preferential treatment (see photos of McCain chatting amiably with his captors), who CLAIMS he was tortured but never revealed any secrets YET he now SUPPORTS torture, which supposedly didn''t work on him? Obviously, either torture does work and he did reveal secrets, or else he just loves to torture other people for fun! The only other possibility: HE''S IN.SANE!

And some re.tards would vote for him rather than for an honorable man who is sincerely trying to make this country and the world a better place, just because that man''s middle name is "Hussein"? That''s nuts! Decrepit Johnny''s middle name is Sidney, a SISSY name for sure! But you don''t see every democrat repeating John SIDNEY McCain everywhere, do you? No. Maybe it''s because we aren''t all brainwashed, or maybe it''s because we actually have LEGITIMATE concerns about McCain. So we talk about those concerns, and don''t waste everybody''s time with mindless slander.

Okay IDNNSG explain what his policies on global warming, health care and taxation will mean. Change means moving from the American model (you do admit he advocates change?) to some other model. The most obvious places to look are Europe, Canada and Australia, all of which have a form of socialized medicine, higher taxation and higher gasoline prices.

ozus asks, "Have the liberals thought through what Obama''s change might mean" and then suggests that somehow it means a bunch of stuff that Obama has NEVER supported, suggested, or even implied.

In other words, ozus is spreading FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt), with nothing to back it up it.

That''s the ticket! Let''s stick with a cra.zy, half-dead "maverick" who PROMISES to continue the current wars and create new ones until he has destroyed the entire world because we''re all afraid that "change would be scary"!

Have the liberals thought through what Obama''s change might mean. Look at Europe. Gas over $7 a gallon. Taxes of more than 90%. No choice of doctor. In the UK there is one CCTV camera spying on the public for every 14 people. Criminals re-offending after being given short jail sentences for major crimes. As well, there are many nanny laws and climate change laws. After four years of Obama, you might long for the good old days.

McCain has shown us all recently that something is wrong with his memory and thinking.

mocaIeo,

Three separate times a few weeks ago, John McCain said that Iran was training members of Al-Qaeda to fight in Iraq. Only on the 3rd time, did someone (Lieberman) finally correct him. McCain made this mistake THREE times in just a couple of days! That is a crucial gaffe, once, again, and again in two days. We have to consider the idea that McCain seems to be losing it.

mocaIeo,

No no no. McCain has been showing us all lately that he''s been forgetting things. It''s prudent to question his faculties due to this. It''s okay that he''s old. It''s not okay that he''s old and forgetting fundamental things like who our enemies are and who they are allied with and his stance of fundamental issues, etc. McCain has shown us all recently that something is wrong with his memory and thinking.

Because voters allowed the media to lead them by the nose to CLINTON v. OBAMA and John McCain, who the media said would be the GOP nominee, at the beginning of 2007, voters now have a tough choice to make in November.

Are they going to vote for a black "HUSSEIN" or are they going to vote for the temperamental "CAIN" (from Cain and Abel)? Drop the Mc and you''ve got "CAIN".

And McCAIN''s temper is just as bad as Cain''s was. Anytime that you go ballistic on your wife IN FRONT OF OTHER PEOPLE can call her a c*nt just because she said you look tired, you know you have an anger management problem.

So, who do voters want? Do they want a black guy with "HUSSEIN" in his name (Obama), or do they want a guy with the SPIRIT OF "CAIN" operating in him who has promised us that there WILL BE OTHER WARS (McCain)?

Well, that''s what you get when you allow MEDIA PROMOTION to be the driving factor in a campaign. You get stuck with crappy candidates.

If the next president comes by robbing the morgue, it can''t be any worse than the present day president.
